Museum of Ice Cream Pop-Up to Open in NYC at End of July, Tickets On Sale Now


The other day we gave you the scoop on a number of awesome ice cream-themed events that are happening in July. Today, we learned that the pot is getting even sweeter as a Museum of Ice Cream is popping up in the Meatpacking District at the end of the month. Co-founded by Maryellis Bunn and Manish Vora, the temporary dessert depository is promising “a lick-able, likeable, shareable ice cream-centric experience.” Advance tickets to the creamy haven, which opens July 29, are available now.

Setting up shop in a storefront across from the Whitney Museum of American Art at 100 Gansevoort Street, the Willy Wonka-esque museum is going to be filled with interactive installations. Visitors will be able to swim in a rainbow ‘sprinkle’ pool, snack on balloons, lose themselves in a chocolate room, and collaborate on a massive ice cream sundae. Other attractions include an ice cream sandwich swing, a seesaw on an ice cream scooper, and the Tinder Land app which helps you find your perfect flavor. Future Food Studio founder Dr. Irwin Adam will also be conducting a one-of-a-kind ice cream tasting and there will be a Scoop of the Week bar of sorts where you can sample treats from ice cream proprietors like Black Tap, OddFellows and more. All are included in the cost of admission.

Now that your sweet tooth as been piqued, you’re probably wondering about how you can visit. The Museum of Ice Cream is open six days a week from July 29-August 31. It is closed on Tuesdays. Hours are M, W-Sat 11am-9pm, Su 11am-8pm. Timed tickets are available for purchase now and come in single admission, double admission (good for two), and mini (children). They are priced at $18, $30, and $12, respectively. You can go here to pick up your tickets now. Tickets will also be available at the door first come, first serve for most sessions including sold out hours online.
